With the villages of Stravča, Duba, Brotnice, Jesenice i Šilješci, the Konavle region is now fully included within the municipality water system. The tap water supply was a promise decades ago made to the inhabitants of Gornja banda (Konavle hills). The head of the municipality Mr. Luka Korda, in his sixth mandate now, said it was a project of a lifetime for him.

The 18-month long arduos building effort on part of the Konavle municipality to extend the water supply network to Konavle hills is getting close to its successful conclusion.

New pipelines being put in place

By September, perhaps even by August of this year, the inhabitants of at least five Konavle villages (Stravča, Duba, Brotnice, Jesenice, Šilješci), who, thus far, had to utilize the water from the reservoars which were, in turn, heavily dependent upon the cistern-trucks, will be able to sigh with relief as they cheer with the glass filled with water from their brand new faucets hooked up to the main Konavle water supply network. .
